If an experiment is replicable, it means that the experiment can be done again with the same results. It is important that an experiment is replicable because if it's not then it is not a valid experiment.

replicable means that the certain experiment must be able to be reproduced again in the exact same circumstances and be able to produce the same results. obviously, the experiment needs to be replicable because then you can justify it and rely on its truthfulness
